Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a method for encapsulating and containing asbestos on power plant equipment, and more particularly to a method for encapsulating and containing the asbestos on power plant equipment, instead of removal, through use of a resin and glass fiber material.
- a mixture of resin, glass, and a catalyst is applied to the surface of power plant equipment to encapsulate and contain the asbestos.
- an unsaturated polyester resin is used as the resin.
- Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide is used as a catalyst.
- Glass fibers are used for the glass. This can be applied by either by spray with a chopper gun, placed on a mat, cloth, or stitch mat by hand; or applied with a brush. Certain pigments may be added according to OSHA requirements or according to the user's desire.
- This method can be used to encapsulate and contain asbestos on any type of power plant equipment such as pipes, turbines, and the like.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a method for encapsulating and containing asbestos on power plant equipment that is quick and efficient.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for asbestos encapsulation and containment that is cost effective.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of asbestos encapsulation and containment that can withstand the temperature extremes in power plant equipment and the wear and tear experienced by the coating and the workpiece.
- Still another object of the present invention is to encapsulate and contain asbestos as opposed to removing it.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide consistent properties throughout the surface, including at joints.
- a resin, glass, and catalyst are combined and applied to the surface of the asbestos on power plant equipment. These three materials are combined to form a bonding fiberglass.
- unsaturated polyester resin which is a thermal setting polymer that is classified as a plastic, is used as the resin.
- Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide which is a strong oxidizing agent, is used as the catalyst. Glass fibers in the form of chopped fibers, mat, or cloth are used for application.
- a chopper gun is used to simultaneously spray the chopped glass and the catalyzed resin on the surface. This sprayed glass and resin is then rolled out or brushed to provide a consistent surface.
- This material can also be applied by hand by placing a net, cloth, or stitch mat containing glass fibers and catalyzed resin on the surface to be covered. In essence, the surface is wrapped with this material. After the wrapping is complete, the wrapped section is then conditioned with either a roller or brush to ensure that all glass fibers are saturated with resin and are smooth and free of air pockets.
- Any color pigment can be added to the mix, according to the user's desire or according to OSHA requirements for type of equipment, temperature, and pressure.
- the sealant is approximately 1/8 inch in thickness or thicker. However, any thickness can be used as long as the fire retardant capabilities of the resin is maintained.
- the unsaturated polyester resin is in the amount of substantially sixty percent by weight.
- a styrene monomer is used in the amount of substantially forty percent by weight.
- Epichlorohydrin is used at substantially 1/2 percent by weight. Because of the sensitivity of the methylethyl ketone peroxide catalyst, the chopper gun mixture must be performed inside the gun in order to ensure that none of the catalyst comes out by itself, which would occur in an external mix.
- substantially five percent by weight of antimony pentaoxide is combined with the styrene monomer to form the resin. This forms a chlorendic-based resin.
- a Venus-Gusmer, low pressure airless chopper gun is used, having an internal mix.
- This gun uses low pressure without air assistance, which produces large droplets which remain within the spray pattern, resulting in less overspray and a much better working environment.
- a hand lay up is a process of applying the material, resin, and fiberglass by hand, using a brush or roller, without the aid of spray equipment.
- a spray up chopped or continuous glass is sprayed simultaneously or alternately with catalyzed resin onto the surface.
- the resin is pre-catalyzed and then applied to the surface using a brush or nap roller.
- a precut sheet of mat or woven material is placed onto the wetted surface and rolled or brushed to remove the air voids and ensure consistent application. If the laminate is mat only, a roller or brush is used. If the laminate contains a woven material, the woven material is put behind the mat, and then a squeegee is used.
- substantially 11/2 inch glass fibers are deposited simultaneously with catalyzed resin onto the surface. This is performed by a hand operated chopper gun that chops glass and sprays catalyzed resin so that the two merge and are directed onto the surface. Because there is no need for other types of matting or roving material, this method uses the least expensive raw materials.
- the spray method can be used on large surfaces such as hot air ducts and feed water heaters. However, a hand application must be used on pipes and seals that are too small to be effectively sprayed.
